With the increase in diabetes a lot of which has not been diagnosed, the Lyles Golden syrup advert where the girl pits a massive amount on her porridge should surely not be allowed.
Not saying it should be banned, just the graphics in this particular ad.To be honest, I don't think that's too fair. Most of the population don't have diabetes.
If we start policing things like this, then I vote for pizzas to be banned, on the basis most T2s find them tricky and I have never liked them anyway. I don't think it's anyone's place to tell me what I should or shouldn't eat or the quantities. The nutritional information is on the tin, to help me to choose, and at over 80% sugar there will be few who don't know that should be a bit of a moderation thing.
My OH is a normie and can literally eat and drink whatever he chooses but sill has an A1c of 27 at last test. Why should he be limited by others' preferences.
(For the record, Golden Syrup was never something that attracted me, but if others like it, fair play.)

Hi,Yes it was on this morning.
That was my view on it.It's pure and simple grooming, reeling in the kids, to add to the other sugar addicts.
Balance doesn't sell diet books, though.It is all about balance.
I am sure someone could/has written a self-help book about it thought!Balance doesn't sell diet books, though.
Haha, yeah! Also this...I am sure someone could/has written a self-help book about it thought!
thats a bit of a jump isnt it??That was my view on it.
My sister is the same, blissfully ignorant! She doesn't seem to see the problem in having half a bottle of wine nearly every night, the sugars are immense. She is pre diabetic but "its not a problem" to her! Diabetes is my problem apparently That's why I am in 5s during the day and I expect her readings are off the chart.My sister-in-law visited recently and she came with a jar of refined Molasses, which she paid the earth for because she has been told it is healthier for her than honey or syrup. She has left it behind, and I am considering calling in the bomb squad to defuse it.
My S-I-L has no working knowledge of carbohydrates so is blisssfully ignorant of why I am reducing them, and as she has no diabetes, she has no interest in finding out. She is about to start yet another crash diet.
perhaps Seducing might be a more appropriate term. Get them while they are young. i don;t like happy cows with bulging udders on my butter thank you very much. The cocopops kids were also an anathema to me. If it has cartoon characters then its got sugar. At least golden syrup is not going down that path, but it does find its way into some of those products such as breakfast cerealsthats a bit of a jump isnt it??
in moderation for a 'healthy' individual no food is bad for people. we are more aware of the affect things like golden syrup has on our bodies and moderate our intake accordingly but to call out an advert for a syrup as grooming is a bit daily mail headline!
